Planet

Planet operates the PlanetScope (PS) and SkySat (SS) Earth-imaging constellations. Imagery is collected and processed in a variety of formats to serve different use cases, be it mapping, deep learning, disaster response, precision agriculture, or simple temporal image analytics to create rich information products.

PlanetScope satellite imagery is captured as a continuous strip of single frame images known as “scenes.” Scenes are derived from multiple generations of PlanetScope satellites capturing images with a single RGB (red, green, blue) frame or a split-frame with a RGB half and a NIR (near-infrared) half, with a multistripe frame with bands divided between RGBNIR or RGBNIR, red edge, green I, yellow and coastal blue. Planet offers two product lines for PlanetScope imagery: a Basic Scene product and Ortho Scene product. The Basic Scene product is a scaled Top of Atmosphere Radiance (at sensor) and sensor-corrected product. The Basic Scene product is designed for users with advanced image processing and geometric correction capabilities. The product is not orthorectified or corrected for terrain distortions. Ortho Scenes represent the single-frame image captures as acquired by a PlanetScope satellite with additional post processing applied.

SkySat imagery is captured similarly to PlanetScope in a continuous strip of single frame images known as “scenes,” which are all acquired in the blue, green, red, nir-infrared, and panchromatic bands. SkySat data is available on the Hub as the SkySat Collect product.
